• The Port Tobacco Players presents:
  Annie Get Your Gun
  
  (March 10 - April 2, 2006)
  
  Book by Herbert and Dorothy Fields, Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin
  Annie Oakley is an incredible shot who was raised Doin What Comes Naturally. Frank Butler, the star sharpshooter in Colonel Buffalo Bill's show, however, knows full well that's not how The Girl That I Marry must be. Anyway, not at least until he finds that My Defenses are Down. Though Annie defiantly says "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better," she realizes that You Can't Get a Man With a Gun. The victor at the end is love; as you know It's Wonderful. After all, There's No Business Like Show Business.

  Alice McGill's well-known performance illustrates that Sojourner Truth, born Isabella Bom'free,
